Keep it on ! Mon, 25 Oct 2004 23:26:39 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/723#t2634 Believe it or not, I want to have this for a few years now, but never got to it. Tue, 26 Oct 2004 08:25:42 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/723#t2644 so maybe now is just the right time to start working on it :D I wonder how much intercommunication between turba and kronolith is possible. From my (deliberatly uninvolved) point of view it would be quite easy for kronolith to get the birthdates from turba, or am I wrong ? Don't find me bothering here, I'm just a little nosy :) Tue, 26 Oct 2004 14:29:24 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/723#t2655 Should be just the semantics of the label but it would also be nice to have Anniversaries, Christenings, or whatever in addition to birthdays. Fri, 03 Nov 2006 15:11:12 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/723#t25646 This has been implemented in CVS HEAD through the listTimeObjects API. For now we only return attributes with the name "birthday" but this could easily be extended in the future to return any attributes of a date or datetime type. Fri, 12 Jan 2007 01:20:29 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/723#t28310 I have added the Address Book to my external events on my calendar in order to have the birthdays from my address book show on my calendar. The time to show my calendar went from 1-2 seconds to 15-20 seconds! Should an index be built or something else to reduce the significant impact this feature has? I am running the latest CVS code and have about 700 entries in the turba_objects table. thanks, Michael Sun, 21 Oct 2007 19:37:14 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/723#t37908 Sounds like that would definitely help in your case. For now I feel like this is best left to individual sites/DBAs and how they organize their tables. Sun, 21 Oct 2007 20:29:43 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/723#t37911 Thanks for the quick reply. I did simply create an index by the object_bday field. It really did not make a difference. Is there something more to it than that? What I did was issue this command: ALTER TABLE `turba_objects` ADD INDEX ( `object_bday` ) The resulting lookup was not any faster. By the way - out of my 700 turba entries, only 25 actually have a birthday entry. Is the listBirthday function reading every turba entry? Do I need to modify the listBirthday function to know about/take advantage of this new index? thanks again, REALLY great feature! Sun, 21 Oct 2007 20:37:45 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/723#t37912 Indexes won't help because listBirthdays() is a generic function that does the date comparisons itself. It fetches all contact objects and then checks the birthday dates one-by-one. To improve speed, we would need to do the date comparisons in the backend database. This means either using a more specific search criteria in the call to search() or implementing an optimized listBirthday() function in each backend driver.

Since this sounds like something the developers would have to handle, should I - or you - submit this as an enhancement request?
